Win! Playtex 18 Hour Bra Review & Giveaway

I’ve said it many times before on this blog, but I’m always looking for a comfortable wireless bra. I get so irritated when a wire starts poking me! And because I am larger in the chest, finding a wireless bra that will actually support me and offer full coverage can be difficult.

That’s why I literally jumped at the chance to review Playtex’s 18 Hour bra. They sent me the Ultimate Lift and Support bra and their Seamless Smoothing bra. I know us large chested women are skeptical when it comes to support. That’s what you have me for. Here’s how I felt about each bra.

First of all, yay! for the comfort strap. There’s nothing worse than a bra strap that digs into you. I know some of you want to look cute, but there’s no need for the pain. The strap is wide and thick enough to help relieve any shoulder pressure. They stay in place too.

As for the shaping, the bra does give you the natural shaping of your breast and there’s no wire poking! Woohoo! I accidentally fell asleep with it on the other day, and it didn’t bother me one bit.

Now, I could always use more lift, but this is one of the best wireless bras that’s I’ve tried.

Rules: You must be 18 yrs-old or older to enter and a U.S. resident. Only one entry per person, unless using the two additional entries, making it a maximum of 3 entries. Giveaway ends 8/29/11 and you have 24 hours to claim your prize. Winner will be chosen using Random.org

Disclosure: This is not a paid post. The bras were courtesy of All You and Playtex. The above is my true and honest opinion.

My biggest bra pet peave is a uncomfortable weird fit. A fit that may say 38B on the bra tag but really looks like a 34 A. I like comfort, and I like to look like my bra size **BLUSH, wow, am I really having this conversation online?**

I am now following @CurvesandChaos on Twitter

I have a large chest and must wear a bra without underwires to visit a loved one in prison. Every single one I have tried makes my boobs sag and that is no fun to see in photos. I NEED a real one that works well. On the other hand, wired bras can really be uncomfortable, especially if it breaks and becomes pokey.

I just plain hate the fact that my bras don’t “hold up” like they should!

I follow you on GFC! My biggest pet peeve is the straps falling off my shoulder.

I have several bra pet peeves… but I think lately is the fact that with wired bras, it is “supposed” to be flat against your chest where the wires come together in the center, and this is never the case for me! I don’t know if that’s different for bigger sizes (I recently tried a completely different size to see if this alleviated it) and it didn’t seem to help much. I’m also totally annoyed with the “wire poking” of underwire bras, but I guess that’s just something you have to deal with if you want more support. Oh the joys of being a woman! Haha

I’m a google follower. My biggest bra pet peeve is when the wires dig in! I’d love to be able to go a full day without boob pain!

Ugh! Bras – if I could I wouldn’t wear them (yeah right DDD’s don’t stand on their own very well) I love the fit of wired bras but when the wire breaks it is painful and irritating. Bras my size aren’t found cheap and when they break it is just a waste.
